Pretty sure they have coffee in Googletown.

It was the lack of coffee for the commute from the City to Googletown. I've got a coffee staging area on my visitor desk now.

They don't have coffee IVs you can jack into on the bus? Well, I'm disillusioned.

I have too much work to even consider a mental health day

Um, Suzi, taking a sick day because your stomach's upset is just a regular sick day. Physical ailment and all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What -t said.

The higher-up I'm traveling with has the best rich person problems - he's made calls about issues with his boats and pool, and I think he just booked a private plane. Maybe he will be flying it? Good thing I like him, or he would be unbearable.

That's hilarious, Jesse. Check his shoes for diamonds.

True, ,-t and Jesse. I may take a mid-day nap and see how I feel after that. I just got my Monday status reports out to my project managers. As such, I have a bit of a lull.

I'm also thinking I need to get my iron levels checked again. I have been running on fumes for weeks and no amount of sleep helps. I need to find a hematologist near our new place. I'm sticking with my regular doc, even with the distance, cause I adore her. But there have been enough changes at my old hematologist's office and it is even further away so it is time for a change. Once I get the umph up to deal.

Yeah, a nearby hematologist sounds like a good idea.

hip deep in pie

I managed to give myself a paper cut on my lip. Which would suck less if I wasn't having a root canal in an hour.

I will wear his diamond shoes if he needs. IJS.

I hate central time. Or more specifically, going from pacific TO central time. Mornings. Also hate: work system that is thankfully working again (after several hours with IT on Friday) but now has a bunch of messed up data in it--I think because I didn't finalize one thing before this thing started? Now I'm not sure what changes I can make to each. Going to have to manually write everything down and hope I can get the precious thing finalized quickly (...which I couldn't do last week because the system was down)

I am forcing myself not to schedule a few days in Vegas next summer, because I want to move next summer and I'll need those vacation days and that money. But--pool! Minions bearing cool things to drink! Comfy chairs to read in and nothing else to do but sit and read! And decide which restaurant to eat in!

edit: But Vegas in the summer is so fucking cheap from Salt Lake City!
